As Web 2.0 Summit 2008 event (Nov 5-7,2008) is well over,we thought about doing an overall brush-up of the event.Here is a quick round-up of all that was worth noting at this tech event.
Max Levchin(Slide) started a discussion on “The Platform Advantage” at the Web 2.0 Summit. Participants included Vic Gundotra(Google),David Treadwell(Microsoft),Elliot Schrage(Facebook) and Amit Kapur(MySpace).
The talk initiated with a basic outlook of 'Platform',going deeper afterwards.Amit pointed that "A platform has to create an ecosystem that includes a core base of users, tools to build applications, and an advertising network to monetize the platform"
